Tips on the use of the
ceramic hob unit
Do not slide saucepans across the surface of the hob - always lift the pan when placing it on, or removing it from the ceramic surface.
Wipe the bottom surface of the pots and pans with a clean dry cloth before placing them on the ceramic surface. This helps to reduce cleaning and prevents scratching the hob glass.
Wipe off spills whilst the hob is warm.
Select the highest setting for the cooking zones until the food is brought to the boil, then reduce the setting.
Use saucepans with an even base. An uneven based saucepan may increase the electricity consumption by up to 50%.
The saucepan should match the cooking zone or be slightly larger.
Use a tightly fitting lid on the saucepan to reduce electricity consumption.
The decorative pattern on the ceramic surface can become scratched and marred with use, depending upon maintenance, but does not adversely affect performance.
Such blemishes are not covered by the warranty and do not affect the operation of the hob.
Spills and melts must be removed immediately, while the surface is still warm, using the scraper supplied with the unit. Especially damaging are melted plastic, aluminum, or any foodstuff containing sugar, including natural sugar, as these can create permanent “pockmarks” and craters on the ceramic surface. After scraping polish thoroughly with the cleaning agent supplied with the unit.
